That Paul found it necessary to use two verbs to stress his point (\u201cstand firm\u201d and \u201chold on to\u201d) indicates the fact that many are easily swayed by erroneous teaching. Smooth-talking promoters of untruth have peddled their wares like a sideshow barker outside the circus tent throughout the past as well as today. They can always be detected by the fact that they set up for business outside the main tent. People must be taught, therefore, to be suspicious of anything that smacks of newness or difference. When examined carefully, most of these new ideas and perspectives call for a departure from mainstream biblical teaching. Hold firmly to what New Testament writers and faithful teachers have always taught, and you are not likely to go wrong.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From Jay E.
